Some farmers object to rolling the
land after it has been thoroughly
seeded and narrowed, for fear it will
pack the soil too closely for the best
growth and development of the crop.
If those who think that rolling will in
any way injure a crop will try the ex-
pertinent on a field of grain by rolling
part of it and leaving the rest as light
as possible, we think that next year
they will roll the entire feld.-En.

How a senator Won His bride.

The wife of Senator Ransom, of
North Carolina is a remarkable wo-
man, says writer in the Philadelphia
Times. She was Miss Hattie Exum, Of
an old family of wealth and influence
on the Roanoke river. where they still
live. She is also near relative of Gen.
George II. Thomas, the commander of
the Army of the Cumberland A story
is told of the senator when he ran for
his first Office, that of attorney general
of the "Old North state" There were
many suitors for the hand of Miss
Hattie Exum, the belle of the Roanoke
valley. The senator was then a whig,
one of the true-blues of the Tar state. "
1t was noised about that Miss Hattie
would not accept his proffer of mar
riage if he were defeated. The wings
and democrats, who recognized in him
one of the most popular young men in
the state, We'd with each other in Civ

turns were counted Mr.. Ransom was
elected by an almost unanimous vote,
and the accomplished daughter of
Roanoke became the wife of North
.Carolina's favorite son.
Mrs. Ransom is one of the most
highly-educated ladies in the south
She reared and fitted each one of her
six sons for college. To-day she has
the proud motherly satisfaction of see
ing two of her "boys" rising lawyers,
one prosperous farmer, another with
the senator as his private secretary,
and two at the University of North
Carolina. Her only daughter, Esther,
also received her rudimentary and
preparatory instruction from her moth

tion at some of the finest female in

Nfrs. Jones,s EASY Chair.

The seat of Mrs. Jones's one large
easy chair gradually gave out till ut
last even the fat cushion she had made
to hide the worn place failed to 'fuliil
its mission" and Mr.. Jones arose from
it one night with the remark, That
chair must be set aside till he could
spare money to pay man to reseat it. :
But Mrs. Jones rose to the emer-
gency and, instead of putting the
chair away to set for an indefinite
length of time in dilapidated disuse,
she took off the cushion and cut the
old cane seat entirely out. Then she
took piece of sacking-stout, coarse
hemp cloth--and cut out of it piece
little more than an inch larger than
the scat. so rs to be able to turn it in
all around to make it stouter 10 hold
the tacks which were driven through
it into the frame of the seat at a dis
tance of about one and half inches
apart. A hole was made for each tack
with straight, stout awl, by which
method they were successfully driven.
Mrs. Jones knew by experience that to
have undertaken to drive the tacks
into the hard wood of which the frame
of the seat was made, without first
making holes, would have resulted in
a complete failure.
At night, before seating himself in
the renovated chair, which was his
favorite resting place. Mr.. Jones eau
tiously raised the cushion to see if it
were safe to trust his one hundred and
fifty ayoirdupois therein.
Seeing the new seat he smiled lit
tie, eontemptuously, remarking: Last
about two days Then he ..sat down
upon it, and-did not fall through.
Mrs. Jones did not mind the depre-
catory remark; she knew the seat
would "lastn and it did last more than
year.-MrS. C. II. Potter, tn Good

Mr.. Davfdson's sagacious Dog.

Mr.. Davidson has farm boil on his
premises, which is erected on the top
of a twelve foet post and which is rung
by a rope. Not long since the bell be-
gan to ring at night about 11eo clock.
The ringing continued for some time,
and Mr., Davidson's family were badly
frightened. They got out of bed,
opened the door, went to the bell, but
not a soul was in sight. The night was
during the moonlight. and everything
outside was almost as clear as day.
Mr.. Davidson was astonished. He
went indoors, but noticing, the. dog in
the house, made the animal 90 outside.
The family had just got into bed, when
the bell sounded once more, and the
ringing kept up until the outside door
was opened, when it ceased. The dog
was noticed at the XII tchen door when
the door was opened.
Mr.. Davidson could see 10 one and
he was greatly mystified. Thoughts
of ghosts entered his mind. and hS
went inside. but remained at the
kitchen window, where he could see
the bell. He had closed the door but
few moments and got to the window,
when he noticed the dog acting in a
strange manner. The animal would
run to the kitchen door, and from
there to the bell-post. 1t kept this rp
for at least five minutes, when it jump
ed on a box that stood directly under
the bell. 1t seized the rope in its
mouth and the mystery was soon dis
pelled, and the bell changed merrily in
the clear December air. The dog now
sleeps in the house, and the famil, is
not awakened at night. ''Jyp'' was
cold and wanted to go into the house.

The more that is known about the

bill does not suit any section of the
country, any class OF people but rail

put the thing through thought they
were striking telling blow at railroad
corporations, but instead OF tina. they
have done that 70 favor railroads that
railroad companies never asked for.
Under the bill railroad rates will be
higher and deadheAds will hereafter
have to pay regular fares. There will,
after the law goes into effect, be 40

to disregard the law.
